They go out for the night, but the real action happens when they get back and Elizabeth introduces Gwyn to 'spooning'. * "I know! Lets go out tonight," Elizabeth said. "Some good food, some wine, maybe meet...
How it all started Melisa Jasinski sat on her bed and grumbled. She had not imagined her life to become so un-predictable. Initially her life had looked as if it would be moving along a well-established track and everything would fall in place. But as of last year, everything was much more complicated than she ever thought it would be. It had started so we...
So yes I know a second one took forever, got a little lost in the pile. If you pay attention this one is in a different category than the first, I am going to be an evil bitch about that so there. :p ** I am understandably peeved when I get into work today. I didn't get my black belt, and the only thing different from earning the prior belts is simply, I w...
I had been driven to a bar where I was sitting at the bar supping a gin and tonic killing time until my step sister picked me up after she visited a sick relative, in hospital, to visit to a rich uncle, she had told me that she would be a gone a couple of hours, three at the most, and to get something to eat.

My sister in law, Jill, runs her own massage business...
"You asshole!" I felt a cold, watery sting as the ice struck my neck and slithered into the collar of my shirt. I wheeled around, directing my verbosity at the culprit: Danny Bishop, the son of my employer. I thought I had been blessed when I landed a summer job at one of the hottest eateries in town, which happened to be owned and operated locally. For a n...
Part one. The topping out ceremony The crane swung the five-foot evergreen to the top of the steel building frame. Ten stories from the ground, the ironworkers walked catlike along the girders guiding the tree to the place they had prepared for it. On the ground their coworkers had taken the netting off the fresh spruce and hooked the cables and sling aroun...
They tell me that twins have some kind of mental thing between them, I know I have watched the shows on the learning channel about that, fascinated. The reason for my watching those shows, and that fascination is my wife Brenda has a twin sister. Now by "twin" sister, I mean TWIN sister! Normally even with identical twins there are obvious differences, one...
He picked up the phone to call the hospital, but dropped it on the cradle. She wouldn't talk to him on the phone anyway. Instead, he told his secretary that something had come up and to cancel everything for the day. He grabbed his jacket and brief case and headed straight for Bellevue. It took the better part of the day and several thousand dollars worth o...
I Tracy Tomlinson walked down the stairs as quietly as she could. She slipped into the kitchen like a shadow and put on coffee, then walked outside and down the driveway; she groped around in the dark for the newspaper, nearly tripped over a football when she bent over to pick-up the plastic wrapped paper.
